How to hire skilled trades workers in Detroit
- Post the pay. Trades workers compare offers closely. Show the hourly range and whether overtime, benefits and tools are included.
- Be clear about licenses. Say whether you need a Michigan journeyman license, apprentice registration, EPA 608 or a weld certification, or whether you will train.
- Hire for potential. Registered apprenticeships let you train your own workers. Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity helps employers build them.
- Look for training funds. Michigan's Going PRO Talent Fund makes awards to employers to train, develop and keep current and newly hired employees.
- Show up where people train. Students read our trade school and apprenticeship guides before they pick a path.
- Move fast. Reply to applicants quickly and make the first step simple.
